BOO Halloween Embroidery Design, Spooky Word Art Machine Pattern

The letters B-O-O each have Halloween scenes packed inside them, so youre not just stitching block letters, youre stitching little illustrations that happen to be shaped like letters. Ghosts float inside the curves, bats hang off the edges, and theres all sorts of small detail work tucked into the corners of each letterform. The closer you look the more you find.

Eleven colours which sounds like alot but the thread changes follow a logical order in the digitising. I spent time on this one making sure the colour sequence minimises how many times you pull the hoop out. The satin column work on the letter outlines keeps the edges crisp so the whole design reads bold from a distance even though it has all that inner detail.

Stitch count runs from about 13,900 on the small end up to 32,847 for the 7.5 run large size. Plan around 45 minutes to an hour for the large on a well-tuned machine. Five sizes total starting from 3.5 inches wide. A customer last october told me she put the large size on the back of a black denim jacket and got stopped at a halloween party to ask where she bought it.

Use a cutaway stabiliser, no question. With 11 colours and that stitch density you need solid backing or the whole thing will pull and pucker. Stitch on black, charcoal or dark navy for best results because the orange and white colours really pop. Check your bobbin before starting because that big version especially has long satin runs that eat thread fast. Email me if you run into any issues and Ill fix it.
